Yesterday evening I got the urge to modify the neck of my mk2-7.

This was the first bass I made, over four years ago, after a break of about 15 years from the one I made before that. Meanwhile I've already made eleven new ones since I build this one.
The neck profile, thickness and volute were not up to my current standards of building... time to do something about that!

I take my hat off to you mate you are one clever f***er wish I had the skill and talent you obviously do

Skills is matter of training and trail and error, talent is a result of these two combined.

I love this colour for a fingerboard as well.
It will turn darker over time, but when treated properly will always stay red.
